Not sure if this is useful but for all Apple users the Dynon upgrade can be
done via Mac connection.
You will need Virtual PC and a Keyspan USB-Serial converter but the method
is very simple for OS X.
I already had Keyspan Unit for my NMAE connected GPS/Mac and all that needs
to be done is for that connection to be selected as COM 1 on Virtual PC. The
rest was driven from Virtual PC. My Virtual PC version was 6.1.1 with XP but
I think VPC 5.1 would be OK.

Does anyone in the London area or the South East have any spare resin and hardner
that I can buy, I only need a small amount in order to fix the new finger brake
mod.
Thanks

Hello All:
I recentley had an intresting expereince with cutting the Tufnol
bearing material for the cockpit flight controls.
I cut the corners off of the tufnol with a power cut-off saw. The
sawdust was like a fine mist, it filled my shop. I also smoke cigars.
If the tufnol heats above 600 degrees F, it gives off teflon vapor.
Muy bad. You get the 'polymer flume flu'. 48 hrs. of chils and fever
followed by days of your bodies efforts to expell the posion. Every
organ participates in some vile fashion or other. Save yourselves, cut
that stuff with a hand saw and don't smoke around the dust.

I too cut Tufnol with a power saw, but you have to take some precautions
1) I have an exhaust fan on a dimmer switch in the garage. If I'm cutting,
gluing, powdercoating, the fan is on. Keeps the garage at a lower pressure then
the house so nothing gets back to the family.
2) Shop Vac with three hoses, Two on suction for getting around and one for
the exhaust, which exhausts out side if I'm doing something nasty.
3) Dusts masks, I have a half face rubber mask with charcoal filters, paper
impregnated with charcoal, and dust masks. Depending on what I'm doing I wear
one.
Be careful, you need your health to fly this thing when your done.
Steved.

| Subject: | EFIS Lite Update |
--> Europa-List message posted by: ScramIt@aol.com
Just an update on my install of the EFIS lite in a mono wheel panel.
If the lite is used as a backup instrument it squeeses into the right hand
panel. I've seen pictures of this install on the web. I wanted to install the
lite in the primary panel with a remote screen. You need the remote screen
because the lite needs 11" panel depth to install. When I bought the lite it was
to come with a 28" cable.... Well, it came with the now "max" lenght of 14".
Should have sent it back, but I didn't (It was to cool). Now that I got to the
point of putting the thing some place I found If you install the lite in the
panel with the remote screen you get penilized for twice the space. 4 x 4 x 11
box in right hand panel, and you can't mount anything there because 4 x4 x11
box is behind it. Also it makes the aux panel look bad, this big blank space
with everything squished under it. Then in the main panel the screen takes
another 4 x4 bite.
So I mounted it on the top of the port foot well. I can now mount it on
vibration dampping shock mounts, level and square. I will build a SS .016 box
around it, 5 1/2" tall and will cover it with ceramic 2000 fire blanket. (it's
mocked up in cardboard right now) Cowl still fits fine. One small hole inside this
extended firewall passes all cables. A small slot, on the top of the
footwell, will keep air moving.
As Always Pictures will soon follow,
SteveD

Don,
Thanks for sharing the caution! I remember now that there were
cautions of that nature many years ago and I had forgotten them.........
Much obliged.

I tried to add a photo and followed complex instructions to the best of my
ability BUT was thwarted. There is discussion of "Add photo" but never found
it. Nor is it described in FAQ - or not in the vernacular.
I finally found a mention of attaching images, but your description is
adding Photos. Are all photos images - are all images photos?
Perhaps a little help for us old decrepid losers would speed the process - I
have SO MUCH to share!

Hi all,
I fitted my out riggers today and I found that the wheels are 30mm off the ground.
I suspect that I could sneak a bit on both ends, but not a lot. I'd be interested
in knowing what are the typical distances that people are using.

Hi all,
I can't seem to find where in the manual it explains on how to go about doing a
weight and balance. Can some one direct me. I did a very quick measure today
and it looks like I have about 780 lbs on the main and about 80 lbs on the tail
wheel. I will get some more accurate scales tomorrow.
